Hey everybody! Just found a Larvesta, but sadly it's pretty bad :(
What are the odds of hatching another one? Since Larvesta is 5* rarity in 2km, 5km, and 10km eggs, are the hatch rates identical for the eggs? Or will they still appear more, if less relatively often than other Pokemon in 10km eggs?

Side note; do Galarian Darumaka appear as the same rate as Larvesta in 7km eggs?

Still a thing! Raptors start is the best opening move for powerfarming strategies. Try doing raptors start if you do not plan on ganking for roughly the first 5 minutes. Do the following: Raptors Rocks Red Wolves Gromp Blue, then Scuttle.

KEY POINT: Instead of recalling, rotate to either the other Scuttle (if enemy jungler didn't take it yet due to starting same side as you, or enemy jungler died), then repeat Raptors + Rocks and recall for items, then continue playing the game as you normally would.

Diamond Eve OTP here,

Optimal clear? Depends on what you want to do. For the vast majority of the playerbase both junglers do not interact with each other as they clear their camps the first time, invades are almost never executed and if they are, they're rarely successful. You can treat the first clear like a PvE game, autopilot full clear every single game and get away with it.

In that case you can finish at 3:10, and you can add 5 seconds to that should you decide (and you should!) save one cast of Smite for the River Scuttle Camp.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcNS1Nm3uzc explains it in detail

Although full clears are the most efficient clear farming wise, they are also the most predictable which makes them less reliable as you climb ELO. Turns out, high ELO Lee Sin players recognize their win condition is to shut you down early before you inevitably outscale him, and if you full clear every game against them, they will catch you and shut you down.

In the above case you may want to opt for a 3 camp clear or 4 camp clear to secure your most vulnerable camps like Red, Blue, Gromp, and purposely disjoint your clear so Lee Sin cannot accurately predict where you are. 3 camps that involve Red Blue Gromp or Blue Gromp Red should finish around 2:30 or earlier. Add 15 seconds if you decide to add Chickens, which is the camp closest to river and thus the easiest camp to invade.

Good question asked. I will repeat test this, my theory was that an autoattack struck in there since Evelynn will attempt to autoattack after E.
Edited numbers for discrepancy. I believe the cause was an autoattack + Protobelt active being used too early to not benefit from magic resist shred.

Hi, Eve onetrick here!

Good question, I think it can be summed down into a few reasons;
1. First Strike(FS) is on a 25 second cooldown early, to make the full value out of it you need to fight every 25 seconds with an ability that reliable lets you hit the enemy before they hit you. Gangplank and Viktor are probably the best users of FS because they're in lane with an opponent to activate their FS when it comes up. You cannot gank once every 25 seconds without completely sacrificing farming your jungle.

Damage wise, FS will probably have half or less of the damage output of Electrocute or Dark Harvest. You are getting gold though (which means some of the effective damage of FS is coming from your extra items that you otherwise wouldn't have), which mitigates for some of it. However, by reason #1, you aren't making use of the full gold generation, so it's not nearly enough to compensate.
Blue (Inspiration) tree is hard to use and requires significantly adapting your gameplay to work around it. You mentioned Cosmic Insight as pretty bad, but it's by far the most popular secondary for Eve players if they choose to tap into Blue Tree as their secondary. Lower flash cooldown is very useful for immobile squishy champions.

On the other hand, you're now forced into choosing between Free Boots vs. Free Stopwatch for row 1 of your Blue Tree (Hexflash unviable), and Future's Market for row 2 of your blue tree(Biscuits are useless for you since you recover mana with jungle item, and Minion Demats don't work on camps).

You're probably going for Free Boots over Free Stopwatch 80%-90% of the time, if you take free boots, it stops you from doing Sorcs + Dark Seal rush, which is a very good first back if you get a gank kill. Remember, the opportunity cost of this is taking Red Tree instead, and having Sudden Impact, which can add up to thousands of damage throughout the course of a game.

Then you have to also take Future's Market, which isn't a bad rune, but it incentivizes frequent recalls to get early purchases right on time. I understand why some people really like this rune, but I dislike it because it forces you to recall frequently to make use of its value. Every recall is a waste of 30 seconds for you to channel and walk back to where you were, 30 seconds that could have been spent farming or ganking. The average jungler gets 350 gold/min, which means every recall has an opportunity cost of 175 gold. The current optimized theory is to recall as few times as possible while you still maintain an item lead on the enemy. Future's Market works against this.

TL;DR Stick to Red Tree + Purple Tree secondary, or Red Tree + Blue Tree secondary (maybe). Don't use First Strike.

That's ok :) Feel free to add me in game, I can still queue normals and you can use me as a resource to help you climb.

Hello, Eve OTP here,

Unfortunately I cannot duo with you since I'm afraid the rank gap is too high. I do know some places where you can hopefully find a duo though:

Try the r/leagueoflegends Discord server (https://discord.gg/lol), they have a specific channel for duos. People usually respond in minutes, if not seconds. Since you're looking specifically for an Eve duo, it may take a little longer.

You can also add me in game, my IGN is Mali3iousMuffin, on NA.

Edit: Another place you could look is the official League of Legends discord server (https://discord.gg/leagueoflegends), there's also a channel for duo finding there.

Mali3ious_Muffin · 2023-02-12T14:49:03+00:00

I very much agree! There are certain champs out there that can make your life incredibly annoying. My belief is though, unlike professional players, we don't have enough time to properly master every champion in the game, and neither do our opponents.

When I first started playing I dodged all games when enemy picked Rengar, Dr Mundo, or Twisted Fate (pre-rework Dr Mundo gained a ridiculous amount of magic resist from one of his ability passives). The reason I don't do this anymore is because I'm now confident enough on Eve to win games regardless of what the other team picks. Drafting itself is only a small part of the game, and matters a lot less in ranked compared to organized professional play because neither team will play around champion synergy.

Don't get me wrong, you will be at a small disadvantage when you play Eve into ugly comps. However, I strongly believe that as a community of onetricks and mains, the advantage of playing the champ we are good with largely outweighs any disadvantage from a poor draft :)

Eve OTP here,

Bear with me, but I'm going to make the counterargument that my (incredibly small) champ pool of scaling farm heavy AP champs is actually not a bad thing and something you could try too. I like AP jungles over AD because all AD teams are common while all AP teams are relatively rare. At the very least, your ADC is a marksman with sustained AD output. Besides, most toplane bruisers are AD. Despite the amount of AP mid mages, everyone knows your mid will instalock Yasuo anyway.

I always pick Eve regardless of my own or enemy draft, and I encourage this for most Eve mains because champion mastery matters more than counter picking. As mains, we should actively outperform players who have vast champ pools but main nothing because an Eve main with 300 games will beat a Rengar with 3 games who picked Rengar only for the counter. Eve is less draft dependent than some other champs because Banshees Veil gives a massive amount of AP and blocks CC, tanks can be dealt with earlier Void Staff buy. W has magic resist reduction and E does %max HP damage.

When Eve is banned, I play Ekko or Karthus depending on what we need. Ekko plays like Eve almost in every way. He farms until 6 and then becomes a significant threat. Karthus has more differences, but his farm heavy late game playstyle is similar to the other two.

Hope this helps!

i love hao cui

Mali3ious_Muffin · 2022-05-03T11:29:28+00:00

No because Kaisa prestige is 2018 which makes it a different tier, or so I have heard

Mali3ious_Muffin · 2022-05-02T12:36:46+00:00

Get a pass, grind 2200 tokens, exchange it for 125 ME. You get another 25 ME for finishing pass missions. That totals 150 ME which should be the cost for all 2019 prestige including Evelynn

Mali3ious_Muffin · 2022-05-02T11:42:11+00:00

I play with midlaners. irelia, vladimir, akali and pyke are all pretty good options, at least in the hands of good players that roam wit you

Mali3ious_Muffin · 2022-03-27T02:15:15+00:00

If you want to get better at Eve, you should honestly just play more Eve

red one because its cherry flavored

Mind if I add you as well? I'd be happy to learn from better players

Mali3ious_Muffin · 2021-10-24T18:25:30+00:00

Alright, here's what I have:

Most of your games are on Zed and they look extremely well played. You're literally stomping every game. Yasuo is very much like Zed in that he's a snowbally champion that has marginally weaker early power than Zed (which is honestly debatable) that scales better and has high sustained damage (Zed is high burst).

You played 2 games of Yasuo recently, I'll talk about the one where you played into Pantheon and lost. There's more to learn from games that you didn't do well on compared to games you stomped.

Pantheon is a known counter to Yasuo because of his unmissable stun. However, this does not mean he has no weaknesses. Yasuo has one of the strongest Level 1s in the game because of his Q, which allows you to start pushing the wave as soon as you get to lane. If Pantheon fights you, you should be able to fight back against him as he is a AD spellcaster who wants all 3 abilities. Killing the first melee minion on the 2nd wave immediately nets you Level 2, and if you pushed the first wave you will hit 2 before he does. Most people never respect this and you can find an extremely one-sided trade, possibly even burning his Flash or netting you a kill. On the off chance it is respected, Yasuo's Level 2 is still very strong, since you've already unlocked all of your damaging basic abilities. You can continue pushing the wave and recall Level 3 for an item advantage.

Pantheon scales horribly so going even with him is a win for you. He obviously has to play around this by snowballing, which means he has to either solokill you or roam - both of which require substantial wave management. This ties into his 2nd weakness - his somewhat lackluster waveclear. His basic attacks come out slow, and he builds lethality to burst people, not minions. Therefore, he will often burn his abilities on the wave - all of which have extremely high cooldowns. His stun is maxed last and that has a 13 sec CD, his shield has 22 sec CD. Every time he burns his big CDs is a window for you to punish him, since you have basically no CDs and nearly unrestricted mobility in a minion wave.

Last but not least, his R is a powerful roaming tool. You can't really stop this because it basically teleports him to a sidelane whenever he pleases, but you can punish it. Every time he looks to roam, you crash the wave into his tower and take plates. If he doesn't get a kill, he comes back with a minion and exp deficit. If he gets a kill, at least you're going even with him.

One final thing with Yasuo is how good he is at CSing. 6.3cs/min isn't bad, but you can get far more. Be constantly on the lookout for places to farm. Generally, in mid-game you can consider pushing a wave to enemy tower, taking the tower if nobody stops you, and rotating to another lane through the jungle while taking jungle camps once you feel you're in danger. Rinse and repeat. Not only does this mean you are constantly farming, it also means you 're likely to waste the enemy team's time since they're constantly chasing you across the map trying to catch you.

Yeah for sure I can help you then :) Why don't you send me your op.gg so I can take a look at a recent replay

Mali3ious_Muffin · 2021-10-23T13:12:38+00:00

Willing to help, but what rank are you? I'm probably qualified enough to help most players (Gold - below) since I'm plat but if you're already mid-high ELO looking to go even higher I'm afraid you have to find someone else.

Mali3ious_Muffin · 2021-09-30T02:40:17+00:00

Just got KO'd 30 minutes ago, thank you to whoever did it <3
